Not sure if this helps Michael, but I think that you are using the id to
generate the steps shown here from one of your earlier emails …
>> f =: ((1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0) |.!.0~ 3 1 $ -)
>> f move
>> 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
>> 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
>> 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
>> +./f move
>> 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NB. Move 0 2 5 expressed as 15 element
which you have tried to substitute with:
(id {~)
However if the goal is to convert <move> (0 2 5) into the 15 element boolean
expressing same, a simpler method may be:
(i.15) e. move NB. e. is “element of” being true (1)
or false (0), so avoids having to expand the 15x15 identity at all
1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
This might obviate the need for id in the first place and simplify your overall
solution.
